## Summary

The procurement process titled "The Procurement of Fibre for NVCC" was conducted by the Velindre University NHS Trust, located in Cardiff, United Kingdom (postcode CF15 7QZ). This procurement falls under the services category, specifically classified as Internet services. It aimed to establish a resilient and diverse telecommunications infrastructure for the New Velindre Cancer Centre by creating an additional fibre route to enhance service reliability. The process was completed under a limited procurement method, specifically through the Public Sector Broadband Aggregation (PSBA) framework, and was awarded to BT on 30th July 2026. The award process did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, as it was outside the directive's application scope.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications and network services sector. Large companies such as BT, which provide comprehensive broadband solutions under a public sector framework, are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. The predetermined arrangement with the PSBA framework ensures a streamlined procurement route, offering businesses rapid market access while maintaining procurement integrity and ensuring value for money. For businesses aligned with providing resilient infrastructure for healthcare facilities, this type of tender is a pivotal growth opportunity, allowing them to showcase their capabilities in enhancing essential digital and operational services.

## Notice

The New Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC) requires a resilient and diverse telecommunications infrastructure to support critical clinical, operational and digital services. The existing design includes fibre connectivity entering the site from the north; however, to provide full route diversity and minimise the risk of service interruption, an additional fibre route is required from the south of the site

### Procurement Information

The decision to award BT via the Public Sector Broadband Aggregation (PSBA) framework was made on the basis that PSBA has been established and endorsed by the Welsh Government for use across the Welsh public sector. The framework provides a compliant, efficient, and streamlined route to market, reducing the need for a separate procurement exercise while ensuring value for money and consistency of service provision. As BT is the contracted supplier within the PSBA arrangement, utilising this existing framework allows organisations to access services quickly and with confidence, benefiting from the governance, commercial arrangements, and procurement assurances already put in place by the Welsh Government.
